Hey y'all. Betcha all thought I was dead by now.

Oh no, that's right. That'd require you to be thinking of me at all. Which you aren't. Because I failed you.

I've learned some things, though. And before I go any further, I want to promise you one thing:

I'm NOT going to leave you hanging. Pinkamena's Tribulation will end, come what may.

Howdy everybody. I feel like I should say something so.....something.

No, sorry, I've got no updates on the next chapter of Pinkamena. The last few months at work have just been brutal...there's about 2-3k of a draft that I've had written since mid February, but I've not written a word of pony in a month. Just haven't had the time. I don't even have time to put together a cute, entertaining blog post for you.

Apparently I fail at this whole FimFic thing. I guess I should have created new chapters and published the new content in there instead so it showed up as unread. My apologies. In any case, the new content is there.

Before I say anything else, I have to give a big shout-out to Orlunu here for reading through 10s of thousands of words to make this rewrite possible.

...actually, a very long while. Probably long enough that nobody...

*SLAM*

...well, now nobody's left to read it. With that said, now that we're out of the holidays and all of that (though still mired in this awful hiatus) let me talk about the status of things. And this time, the news is big.

WARNING: SPOILERS (duh)

Seriously, if you haven't read the story-so-far, stop now...

Yep, two solid days of work and the thing's ready for prereading. Hopefully it'll be up within a week. Now on to Chapter 9, where Pinkie makes toast or something.

Okay, so I know I've done this before, but I finally have an update to provide.

Over the last month and a half, I've written several horsewords. Probably close to 10,000.

Unfortunately, they've been spread across five different stories. Some of these will likely never see the light of day, they're just terrible ideas.

But one, I think, is ready for a second pair of eyes.

I swear, if I close this window one more time....

Sorry about that. Having "technical difficulties" targeting the mouse accurately over here.

Just wanted to give a brief update.

Read More

And not a single blog...what's happened to me?

Oh, right, work. Always work.

Well, anyway, just figured I'd stop in to let alllllllllll of you know I'm not dead. And because, of course, I'm a narcissist and figures at least one of you might care about that sort of thing.

Okay, not really.

Another chapter of Pinkamena's Tribulation is up!

Um...it's...long. Like, really long. Sorry about that.

Oh, hi Pinkie. I guess I should have expected you. Um, you're not in this one either.

Wow, an entire month has gone by and I haven't even blogged once.

Time to fix that!

I know, I'm spammy. I'm sorry. Here, have a cute pic of Fluttershy:

Okay, we cool now? Good.

Now, for the updates. My last blog, I said I'd have the next update for PT up soon. Well, a few things have happened since then.

So the new chapter of Pinkamena's Tribulation is up.

Baltimare

The Baltimare arc will take us through the next few chapters, which means...

Excitement!
Adventure!
Politics!

...wait, politics?

And yes, it'll be a little while before we get back with poor Pinkie.

Sorry, Pinkie. Gotta let Twilight, Dash, and maybe a few others do their part here too.

...and I completely flub it by missing a ] on a last minute edit from my iPad, putting the whole thing in italics.

Anyway, if you gave up reading it earlier because the formatting drove your eyes crazy, it should be fixed now.

And, if you did read it, I'd love if you gave me your opinion either here or on the story, even if you thought it was terrible.

Yes, I mean it this time. 4500 words. The chapter's done, finally. I want to read over it one more time (I know, I know), then prereading (pending availability) and/or, finally, have it posted before the end of the week.

Thanks for not giving up on me, everypony.

So yeah. I AM working on Pinkie, I promise. I've had to rework Chapter 4 twice, and now I'm on a complete rewrite. Sometimes, I get really stupid ideas. Forcing conflict seems to be a major problem of mine.

So...good news! I've broken through my writer's block with this story and am in full production mode on it. Unfortunately, I won't have much time over the weekend to work on it, so I'm trying to get as much done tonight as possible. With any luck, I should have a new chapter update out for early next week. Man, I can't believe a month has passed since the last update...

Read More

Since I've tagged this for the story, I'll post my production update first.

Basically, for Pinkamena's Tribulation, there isn't one. I'm still really in the planning stages here, unfortunately. I hope to start writing sometime next week, but I need to set some good time aside just for planning. I've got a few vague ideas, but not nearly enough to start writing. So...I dunno. Probably at least two weeks out, still.

So...I guess I like lying to all you. As it turns out, I've got about 4.2k drafted for Ch 3. It's done, pending edits. If anypony wants to pre-read for me, send me a PM. Otherwise, I should have it posted in the next few days.

Okie, guys, so here's the latest plan for Pinkamena's Tribulation:

Ch3. In progress, 1k/2.5k. Yep, sorry, it'll be a short one. My time is limited, and, well, I need a better plan to get further than that. Posted by 4/23.

For those watching this story, just a production update. I'm now at about 5300 words, but still unsatisfied with the chapter as a whole. There's a lot going on, and I don't want this one to disappoint (me). I've unfortunately not got a lot of time this week between work and family concerns, so it may not be up until next week.
